Bah Humbug!

So it's Vals again. Like I said,

Bah Humbug.

Lakini I have received some gems I must share.

A. A hilarious word of advice

Ladies...... just a piece of advice today. As valentines approaches, please note that there are two people you should NOT fall in love with:-

1. John Githongo - the fellow will tape your whole affair, and release it to the press in pieces.

2. James Kamangu Ndimu - this fellow might come to haunt you 20 years later when you have made it all alone.


B. These are entries to a Washington Post Competition asking for two line rhymes with most romantic first line, but least romantic second line:

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

I thought that I could love no other --
that is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet,
and so are you. But the roses are wilting, the violets are
dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes --
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "Go to hell."

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

C. Then I received these pics! Made my day:

5. Beware what you swear to on the wedding day


4. If taken literally...


3. If we were all truthful...


2. What you will be saying 10 years down the line...


1. And the winner is...



D. And someone who knows how to please a mama..

Cognac laced chocolate people! Getting high under the bosses' nose! A major highlight I dare say.

@EGM: "mama boi" RMAOROTF

@Ichiena: That explains you behaviour at some certain hour...yes when cognac was taking effect.

Do love the cards though

egm said...

@Anon, it's an inside joke. Long story!

Aiee, toboa that cognac explanation story! Now I'm concerned I might be Kamangu'd right before my eyes!

Love is sharing an STD! ha ha ha

Where di these 2 clowns check in?

Ichiena said...

@Baba Boi: Happy Vals nawe pia! Sukuma wiki na omena na waru iko on its way!

@Anon: What hours are yo----ooooooh! Kumbe ni wewe! Now you...si you see me on the side at that hour?

@Baba Boi: Do not be discombobulated. You will be Kamangu'd behind your back, when it happens. So you wont have to see it.

@GB: Sweetiepie, Ndarlingest, Coochie coo! Ha ha ha.

@Aged One: Two clowns - you...er...and...???

Don_quixote said...

Bahumbug alright, those wishes all so on point sigh!!! and the cognac laced chocos no words!!!

Anonymous said...

That one for cupid shot is the best one of the lot. Yes Dadi Boi and GB are the clowns. With you doing their washin and whatnot? mixed yellows with blues etc. ...where are the rest of you?...are you a clown?...eiich!!

Archer said...

Discombobula...what? Nini hii?

Nyako kwanza where's the big fat mbuta you promised me from your fisssssing expedissson? On second thought, after getting food poisoning from eating a sick fish three nights ago, I think I'll give it a pass.

Acolyte said...

I see I am not the only one who is cynical about Valentine's!

egm said...

Clown? Eh, only clown I see loves jumping in puddles!

That vibe of chocolate reminds me of an article I read in a newspaper. Ati now some chocolates you buy come with an instruction manual on how to eat them. Open box, unwrap chocolate, break a piece and place under your tongue... Soon there'l give instructions on how to drink water!

Mama Boi, right on target! I have the ka-quarter ready for mchomo to go along with the week push, waru and omena.

Ichiena said...

@Don: Those chocos will be my undoing. You place a piece under your tongue and let it melt. And just when you are enjoying chocolate like only swiss chocolate can taste, there's a burst and there's a tangy sharp sinful taste - yum yum!

@Aegeus: I do not do their washing. I do their whatnots...ama niaje Baba Boi na Sweetiepie? Hebu Aged One usivunje nyumba, hehehe...

@Archer: Discombobulated = disconcerted, shockingly disturbed. (JVC bana, utajuaje??:) )
As for that mbuta, you intend to pass it like the stick fish you have been passing? LOL!

@Aco: Cynical? Who? Me? Tihiihii...

@Baba Boi: Right on - kwanza I have experienced it - the grin on his face as he splashes is rather clownish.

Kwanza ningeweka fermented uji lakini customs waligoma..sniff sniff.

Unyc said...

Here is one more after a night together:

WOw! U mean I picked u from all the ladies there.
I must have been really drunk.

The cards are the best...lol....screw my life...
At least the day is over.

Girl next door said...

Your post is the best Valentine's inspired thing I've read. It put a big smile on my face :) The rhymes are hilarious, the pic of 'till death is way out there, now are those cognac chocolates for real?

Ichiena said...

@Unyc: LOL! Mbeuti ries in nthe ienyse of the mbeer onda.

I finally figured out what your name might mean so you are small sis! hehe. Lakini, is there anyone who looks forward to Vals ama KBW we be a bunch of starved Kenyans?

@GND: The chocos are real - the cognac is real. The pic is actually of the wrapping paper of the pack I gobbled, scanned and shared. Like I said.Yum. Yum. Yum.

Klara said...

Am still on da floor

modoathii said...

egm said...

One more thing that made me chukia this day even more. Jana I am reading the paper, and I come across a whole two pages with pictures of dogs from their owners wishing them a happy valentines day. I shall beat a photo of that and load it so you see that madness. The world has surely gone to the dawgs... Woof!

Ichiena said...

@Klara: Laughing or dancing?

@Modo: Yea, good observation. I was telling a colleague at the time that I sort of feel sorry for dudes because all these adverts are implying only men should buy gifts bla bla bla.

@Baba Boi: Wa! Whatever you say me I still demand my Vals gift! And I want it noooow!

@Ban2-2: Wewe ichieni certified. Believe it or not, I had a business meeting mpaka 10pm!

@Quintessence: You know! Or "Oh lets PROVE if he rocks your world"

@Mocha:I am teetotaller lakini those chocolates (mweheheheheee).

@Wanja: "Cry myself to sleep"? How???

@Baba Boi: I have recalled delivery ya viazi, sukuma na fry. Haki!

@Unyce: Wa! Happy birthday!

@Farmgal: Stalker alert, hey? I know what you mean. Oh I so know it.

@Milo: Cross over or jump out? You are claiming NOT to be on that train ya'self?
